EXPLANATION OP THE PLATES. 275 
breadth from C. to D. (in the plan, fig. 2,) is about 20, the height of 
the cave from 25 to 30 feet. 
D. (In the section) irregular chimney-like aperture, ascending 
from the roof of the cave, and terminating in the nearly perpendicular 
cliff at K.; it is too small for the entire carcase of an elephant to have 
passed down through it. 
E. Bottom of the cave, to which the sea water never reaches; this 
part is covered over with a loose mass of argillaceous loam and frag¬ 
ments of limestone, of diluvial origin, about six feet deep, which has 
been much disturbed by ancient diggings, and through which are dis¬ 
persed the bones and teeth. The elephant’s head, and human ske¬ 
leton, are marked in the spot in which they were actually found. 
F. Mass of the same materials as E., but less disturbed, and over¬ 
hanging E. with a small cliff, five feet high, in which were found two 
elephant’s teeth. This mass, though less disturbed than E., has been 
dug over before, and extends into the small hole within B.; it contains 
dispersed through it, particularly near B., recent sea shells and pebbles : 
at this place also it is firmly united by stalagmite, which rarely occurs 
in any other part of the cave. 
G. Loose sea pebbles, strewed in small quantity over the floor of 
the cave near its mouth, and washed up only by the waves of the 
highest storms. 
H. Rock basins, three feet deep, produced by friction of the large 
pebbles, which still lie in them. 
I. Naked limestone of the floor of the cave, forming the line 
within which the waves appear never to enter, and separating the sea 
pebbles without, from the diluvial loam and angular fragments that 
form the loose breccia within it. 
K. Upper termination of the chimney-shaped aperture in the 
face of the naked cliff.
